Part 6

In Storyland, however, the case is quite different. Besides the consciousness of duty well performed the workers receive a material compensation for their services. They not only have the honor of winning subscribers and adherents to the story tellers’ cause, but the satisfaction of a substantial recognition besides. What is your reply? Will you come and help us—for a consideration? We need an army of workers, a veritable fairy host who will make The Storytellers’ Magazine a welcomed guest in every corner of the land. If you will join forces with us in building up a great subscription list you will aid in making The Storytellers’ Magazine a _great_ Magazine. If you will but wave your wand we promise to wave ours.

Every one is interested in the story telling idea, and when you show that for the modest sum of _eight and three-quarter cents each month_ one may not only be kept in close touch with this great movement, but enjoy a liberal education in the delightful stories and other illustrative literature which appear in the columns of the Magazine, you will be sure to find not only a cordial welcome, but a subscriber as well.

Send us at once your name and address, and let us know what territory you will become responsible for, and we will send you the necessary instructions about getting subscribers.

Do not attempt at first to cover too much territory. It is far better to cover a small territory thoroughly than a large area half heartedly. We have in preparation a list of premiums and club combinations which can be offered in connection with the Magazine. When ready, this list will be furnished to you and will aid you in getting subscribers.

STORIES FOR CHILDREN

=TWO LITTLE RUNAWAYS= (_Just Published_) Adapted and revised by MELVIN HIX and WALTER L. HERVEY. Illustrated. 95 pp. 30 cents.

Snappy and Spitfire are a dog and a cat who become dissatisfied with their surroundings and decide to run away. Their various adventures make an amusing and interesting book for children. It was designed particularly to be used at that important stage when children are ready to begin the independent practice of the most delightful of all arts, the art of finding stories in books. The simplicity of plot and general content are admirably suited to the needs and abilities of six-year-old readers.

=INDIAN SKETCHES= By CORNELIA STEKETEE HULST. Illustrated. 120 pages. 60 cents.

New material, drawn from the beautiful and heroic stories of the Northwest Territory, has been worked up with the aim of presenting the Indian in a much pleasanter and fairer light than is usual in literature. Social and racial customs, the dances of the various seasons, etc., are described. Parents and teachers of younger children will find these “Sketches” interesting and historically accurate.

=IN OLDEST ENGLAND= By GEORGE PHILIP KRAPP. Illustrated. 173 pp. 60 cents.

A collection of well-chosen stories which represent old English life. Tales of adventure, accounts of battles, vivid descriptions of their homes and dress, all serve to make real this distant period. The story of the beginnings of the English people up to the Norman Conquest is given, and the heroic characters of those times are brought to view in a setting altogether new.

=THE MAGIC SPEECH FLOWER= By MELVIN HIX. Illustrated. 179 pp. 35 cents.

This is the story of a little boy who was kind to animals, and, because of his goodness to them, gained the power to understand and to speak the speech of the animal folk. Thus he hears from them all about their habits and they tell him many interesting legends of the woods. Most of the stories are new and they are told in simple language which can be read by children of eight or nine years of age.

=HISTORICAL PLAYS OF COLONIAL DAYS= By LOUISE E. TUCKER and ESTELLE L. RYAN. Twenty-six plays. With full-page Frontispiece. 163 pp. 65 cents.

This book makes history real by lifting it into a dramatic presentation faithfully reproducing people and events in colonial times in America. It teaches history in its pleasantest form. All of the plays have been acted over and over again by children nine or ten years old. They also immensely enjoy reading the plays without acting. The average time required to give each of the plays is about fifteen minutes.
